Gabe will be one in 8 days! Wow time sure does fly once we get those kiddos out! I remember this time last year I was sitting at my desk at work hoping that my water wouldn't break WHILE I was in class!! How traumatic would that have been?! I mean with Alex I wasnt working so I didnt have to worry about WHERE my water would break. Which it never ended up doing anyways, so I wasnt sure what that would be like. I used to have dreams that I'd flood the classroom! NASTY!!!!!!!! Anyway thankfully my water did end up breaking, but while I was at home at 3am! Imagine? I'd be soooo upset if it would have waited 4 more hours LOL I would have been at work by then LOL
Anyways looking back at the first year of Gabe's life is so weird! I mean so much has changed yet stayed the same. It's like he has ALWAYS been in our family. I dont remember life with just one kid. (Well I do but you know what I mean), Alex is so good with him most of the time. He does try to play with him and doesn't always remember that Gabe isn't the best walker on earth and that he doesn't know that throwing matchbox cars at people hurts! LOL So Alex gets mad a lot of the time at Gabe. But then he'll see him sleeping and sing him "The Sunshine Song", or run and get him a blanket or a toy to snuggle with. Or he'll run into the room and just want to give Gabe a hug and a kiss or dance with him LOL I think we waited to have Gabe join our family at a perfect age for Alex.
So Alex is VERY excited about Gabe's birthday Party in a few days. He keeps telling me how he is going to help him open his presents and feed him his cake so he doesn't get messy LOL I need to show Alex pictures of HIS first birthday when he made a mess LOL

So sweet to hear of the brothers interactions! Even amid the not-so-happy times, I sure love the good ones! (And I totally forgot your blog was private until your comment on Sue's blog so I haven't even been checking - oops!)
That Criminal Minds episode really WAS freaky . . .
Anyhow, thanks for the second invite so I can FINALLY access your top secret blog . . . YAY!!!!!
I thought you had simply stopped blogging, at least for the time being . . . Glad you said something about nobody stopping by so we could fix it! =o)
The way your boys interact is . . . um . . . what is the word . . . NORMAL . . . LOL . . . siblings is something you kind of grow into . . . especially since the second one kind of 'dethrones' the first . . . Not really, but to a child not used to having to share the limelight at all, it must feel a little like that . . . After that, any others are 'just another one' . . . ;o)
